August 24 of the first year of Great Qin II.

Jiuyuan City, which stands on the banks of the Shimo Plain and the Yellow River, is like a giant beast crouching in the northern frontier of Great Qin, majestic and strong. This northern fortress giant city, which took several years, mobilized hundreds of thousands of people, and cost Daqin countless money and grain, has always been the most dazzling pearl in the northern part of Daqin.

After decades of peace, countless small alien tribes sheltered under the wings of Great Qin gradually became accustomed to enjoying the peaceful scenery of Jiuyuan City. Countless nomadic merchants also set up shops in Jiuyuan City to trade with the nomads of the grasslands.

With Daqin as the backing and the powerful Jiuyuan Army to defend it, after decades of multiplication, the prosperity is not inferior to the extremely important cities such as Handan and Linzi in the territory of Daqin.

And Jiuyuan City, which is located outside the fortress, is a little more rugged and heavy than these famous cities that live in the hinterland of Daqin.

However, today, Jiuyuan City, which has been bustling with traffic and people every day for decades, finally does not have the appearance of the surging flow of people. The gate of Jiuyuan Castle, which will not be closed until the sun goes down, was also completely closed yesterday.

Above the city, countless Jiuyuan soldiers stood. Large and small repeating crossbow machines were lined up next to each other, and the thick crossbow arrows glittered in the sunlight.

It seems that it also knows that a terrible war is coming, and it is also longing for the taste of blood.

From the faces and eyes of these soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army standing on the city wall, there was no nervous or frightened look. Some are just cravings. That's right, craving.

I longed to drink the blood of Hu Lu, I was eager to hear the sound of the strong crossbow in my hand burrowing into the flesh and blood of Hu Lu, and I was eager to see the urgency of Hu Lu's head to establish military merits. Longing for the moment when the knighthood was conferred after the Great War.

Jiuyuan, Chengping for too long.

It seems that those Hun barbarians have forgotten the mountain of corpses and blood that were once left on the land of Henan.

The soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army have been longing for military merit for too long.

If they don't kill some of the bearded heads, they will grow old.

…… Thundered!

The sound of rolling thunder came from the sky, and the earth began to tremble slightly, as if the earth dragon had turned over.

A long, thin black line appeared in the distant sky as far as the eye could see.

In less than a moment, this long black line began to rapidly soak the grassland outside Jiuyuan City like thick ink that suddenly splattered on the prairie. It covers the plains and wilderness that were originally verdant.

The howling of ghosts and wolves came from the muffled thunder that grew louder and louder.

That long black line has now become a large black and white curtain, beginning to cover the prairie.

The rolling muffled thunder has turned into a continuous giant thunder echoing between the heavens and the earth at this moment, and standing at the head of the high Jiuyuan City, you can clearly feel the tremor of the earth.

The Huns, it's finally here!

Meng Hong and the others on the city wall silently looked at the countless Hun cavalry rushing all over the world. Hands clenched unconsciously.

"Woooooo

The continuous sound of the desolate long horn, the roar that pierced the whole heaven and earth, came from afar.

The black and white Hun cavalry, like a complete curtain, suddenly transformed into a huge monster with two tentacles at the sound of this horn. The two tentacles formed three long arcs, stretching out from the Hun cavalry array, stretching and stretching, towards the Jiuyuan City that stood on the Tumo Plain.

From the sky, it looks like a hideous giant beast sticking out its tentacles and trying to take Jiuyuan City into its arms.

Two tentacles composed entirely of Hun cavalry, less than five miles away from Jiuyuan City, around the city, obviously the Huns want to rely on their huge military strength to surround Jiuyuan City, slowly slaughter.

Wielding the scimitar in his hand, the two tentacles derived from the Maudun army and composed entirely of Hun cavalry finally converged in the east of Jiuyuan City. An iron-like array was formed, enveloping Jiuyuan City within a radius of more than twenty miles.

The Hun cavalry walked around the city with great force, which did not arouse the slightest restlessness of the soldiers of the Jiuyuan army on the city. Of course, in the eyes of the soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army, these Hun cavalry are synonymous with military exploits.

The eyes of the soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army were blazing and naked.

Slowly moving forward, facing the west wall of Jiuyuan City, was the 200,000 elite Huns led by Mao Dun himself. A five-zhang long banner marked by a giant wolf that roars in the sky has clearly told Meng Hong and others that this is where the Chinese army of the Xiongnu Shan Yu and Mao Dun is located.

The cavalry in the east, west, and north directions were all Donghu cavalry, with 100,000 people in each square. The Donghu cavalry in three directions, each cavalry had 5,000 Hun cavalry as a pressure formation. However, it is clearly a suppression of the formation, but in fact it is an overseer.

The giant wolf banner stopped advancing about five miles away from the city wall, and nearly 200,000 Hun cavalry formed a huge fan-shaped arch guarding around this giant wolf Daqin, which was extremely oppressive.

The large array neatly separated a passage.

A tall war horse with a whole forest of red appeared under the banner of the Hun wolf god. The robes woven by yellow brocade make Mao Dun particularly eye-catching among the Hun cavalry wearing sheepskin shoulders everywhere in black and white.

The whole world was silent at this moment.

Mao Dun lightly clamped the horse's belly, slowly rode the horse, stopped after taking more than ten steps forward, and looked at this big city that was obviously taller and stronger than the fortified city abandoned by the Qin people, and finally revealed a bit of heat.

This is Jiuyuan Castle.

This is the Jiuyuan City that has prevented the Hun warriors from going south for decades.

This is the last barrier in front of the plains of the Hetao, the anointed land.

As long as this seemingly extremely magnificent and majestic city can be broken, then the entire Hetao Plain and Henan will return to the arms of the Huns again. The capital city of Great Qin, which is located in the endless fertile land in the south, will also truly face the hooves of the Xiongnu warriors.

As long as the Xiongnu warriors are willing, they can enter the rich Qin Empire at any time, and unscrupulously plunder the beauties of the Qin people, the clothes of the Qin people, and the treasures of the Qin people. There is no need to fight because of a small copper case like the previous two days.

And this real fortified city will also become the royal city of the Xiongnu clan. He can also become an emperor like the Qin people. No more curling up under the bitter cold Wolf Juxu Mountain.

Emperor!

Thinking of this hot place, Mao Dun's heart fluctuated suddenly, and even his breathing began to be so short.

Mao Dun's eyes suddenly froze, and the horse whip in his hand was slowly raised, pointing in the direction of Jiuyuan City from afar.

This city belongs to him and belongs to the Huns.

This city must be taken.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

The great Maudun alone pointed to by the whip was the direction in which all the Huns were heading. The Hun cavalry, which formed a huge fan around Mao Dun, saw the action of the great Mao Dun Shan Yu, and one by one with red eyes, suddenly raised the various scimitars and longbows in their hands, beat their own ** chest, and burst out with a mountain of shouts.

An overwhelming shout of killing suddenly sounded around Jiuyuan City.

Meng Hong and others on the city wall changed color for the first time.

From these crazy Huns, they saw the high prestige of the person who had just pointed at Jiuyuan City with a horsewhip in the hearts of the Huns. Obviously, today's Huns are no longer the Huns led by the cowardly Tou Mandan.

The Huns themselves are wolves, and if there is another tiger as the leader of this pack, then the wolves will become even more terrible than the tigers.

This is what Mao Dun Shan Yu is.

The Huns did not attack immediately. After the overwhelming cheers finally stopped, hundreds of thousands of Hun cavalry dismounted. In less than a moment, white tents appeared around Jiuyuan City, wrapping Jiuyuan City tightly.

As for the troops of Mao Dun who went south this time, Zhang Mu and the others, who had already returned to Jiuyuan City, had already found out in the past few days. It will never be less than 400,000, or even 500,000.

500,000 Hun cavalry, unconsciously, this nomadic who was beaten by Great Qin and retracted the wolf claws for more than ten years, and survived in the gap between the Donghu and Yue clans, has accumulated so much strength again?

August 24 of the first year of Great Qin II, a quarter past noon!

As the desolate sound of the horn pierced the earth, the well-fed Hun cavalry heard the sound and mounted their horses. Apparently the Huns could not wait to prepare for the first attack.

I just don't know if this attack is a test or a real thing.

When the soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army on the city wall heard the sound of the horn, they all clenched their crossbows or hard bows in their hands. A large repeating crossbow machine with a large body of concrete size slowly cocked with a "crunch" sound, aiming at the city wall.

The sound of the desolate trumpet came to an abrupt end.

The Hun barbarians, who were originally standing still on their horses, suddenly moved at the moment when the horn stopped.

Not in one direction!

Instead, the Hun cavalry around the four walls of Jiuyuan City moved in unison.

Countless Hun cavalry shouted and desperately urged the war horses under their crotches to form an unusually scattered formation and rushed towards Jiuyuan City. Behind these cavalry, there were dense Hun barbarians who dismounted and temporarily turned into foot soldiers.

These Hun barbarians, who had become temporary foot soldiers, carried a long ladder and followed the Hun cavalry who were obviously trying to suppress the soldiers of the Jiuyuan army on the city wall with bows and arrows.

The distance of five miles, in the case of the Hun cavalry desperately urging the war horses, is only a moment's effort.

Two thousand steps.

1,800 steps.

One thousand six hundred steps.

The Hun cavalry, which scattered like locusts and pounced on them, had already entered the effective killing range of the large crossbow machine of the Jiuyuan Army on the city wall.

"Bang Bang!"

The continuous dull bowstring sounded one after another from the four sides of Jiuyuan City.

At the moment when the bang did not fall, countless sharp whistling sounds resounded throughout the whole world, and even the roar of the Hun cavalry and war horses galloped out.

Countless thick crossbow arrows three zhang long and the thickness of an arm's arm, with a cold light and a sharp whistling sound, suddenly appeared above the heads of the Hun cavalry as if they were teleporting, and fell down fiercely.
